It still always bugs me how much praise Jeffery has gotten up until this point. How is he part of a solid one-two combo? His production was minimal due to injury and even when he did play he had an annoying tendency to act too hot and draw flags more than catch the ball. I still consider Earl our #2 until Jeffery can prove otherwise.

I think they are playing on the fact of "impact" moments. I recall Jeffery plays more then I remember Bennet's. Hopefully this offseason training with Uncle B can truly solidify his position as a #2 reciever.

I think the fact that TE is over OL is just wrong. He didn't even mention Rodriguez who is working with Marshall and showed flashes last year. I really like Cooper or Fluker at 20, as I expect we get a G and if Barrett Jones falls to the second, sweet. They've said they want a speed element, so I could also see Tavon at 20, if all the OL are gone. However, Decastro dropped all the way to 24 last year, and if we can get Warmack of Johnson because the Titans and Chargers pass, fuck yes.

I agree with you. Our number one priority is protection for Cutler. It's kind of funny that they would say "someone to pass to" over "a line that gives Cutler the chance to throw." I do have a lot of faith in Trestman and I really just can't wait until next season. There's too many unknowns in the Bears community right now.

Barrett Jones is a 3rd round talent. He's not as good as what people think. Limited athlete that struggles with speed, even at center. Though I do hope Rodriguez can show something as a pass catcher, as he was a talented pass catching TE coming out of Temple.

That being said, getting someone like Eifert, Ertz, Gavin Escobar, etc. in the draft or Jared Cook or Martellus Bennett in free agency would be a huge get at a position where the Bears have had nothing since they traded Greg Olsen to the Panthers.

Yeah, but you don't need much talent to play the center position, you need smarts. Physically yes, Barret Jones is a 3rd rounder, however his versatility and intellect makes him a high second. Teams need centers smart enough to make the proper line calls.

For a tightend I really hope we get the guy you just said, "Gavin Escobar." I think this guy is really underated. He is raw, but his already a good blocker which fits into what Kromar wants, and he has room to grow into a passer.

It's not a highly valued position unless you're a special talent like Alex Mack or Ryan Kalil and given Jones' athletic limitations, he's gonna drop into the 3rd round. His intelligence, leadership, and 5 position versatility is valuable, but he doesn't overpower DTs and speedier DTs and NTs give him fits.

Hmmm good point. I'll definitely have to think a bit more on this. I can now definitely see him going in the third round, however if a team really falls in love with his leadership and intelligence, he'll maybe get snatched in the second.
